OXNARD, Calif. -- The NFL has denied the Dallas Cowboys' request to wear the "Arm-in-Arm" decal on their helmets for Saturday’s preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Cowboys had unveiled the decal at an emotional start to their first padded practice of training camp, when they walked arm-in-arm on the field with Dallas police officials, including police chief David Brown, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and the families of the police officers slain in the line of duty last month.
The Cowboys, who wear the decal on their helmets during training camp, knew they would not be able to wear the decal for the regular season but had hoped to wear it in the preseason.
